Salvage price, less than a thousand and closer to $500.00 .
Good sheet metal is getting hard to find. That transmission will have to come completely apart for at least one pair of gears and all bearings/seals. The electrical system has been butchered so an entire new harness and generator/battery. Battery doors are likely missing as well the grill bashed in. Any gauges are likely going to need replaced as well. New tires will cost $1100-1200. Exhaust manifold and who knows what could be making that engine miss. Any three point hitch arms left on it?
If it was taken care of a complete and running. A clean 40S right out of the field can go $4000-$6000+, easy dependng on options.
